Topic: 12/16oz Bottle Taste Difference (Read 3628 times)

So I'm about 10 batches into my brewing journey and I've noticed a distinct difference in quality of my 16oz ez cap versus normal 12 oz bottles. The 16's typically carb faster and taste better than the 12's, and the 12's typically taste "meh". Has anyone had any experience with this and have any recommendations?

I've never had a situation like this, although I generally always opt for bombers (less work!). Are you filling the bottles in any specific sequence? Maybe pulling more sediment into the bottles you're filling last? I assume you're storing them all in the same place w/o light?

Gently stir with a sanitized spoon after you rack into your bottling bucket. It really makes a huge difference. I also purposefully leave my racking hose long and let it coil along the side of the bottling bucket. This way the beer being racked over swirls into the priming mix.
